Side intake scoops

Anyone here had there side intake scoops stolen?
It's already happened to me twice.
If anyone has an extra set laying around or any leads I would greatly appreciate it. I already found some at la porsche dismantlers but hoping I could find a cheaper set

Yeah it's pretty easy to pop em off. They are held on by clips. Same stupid kids stole em left the same mark again with the screwdriver. They must be selling em to local vendors who make cf versions and sell those.
It's my fault to have parked outside.

I think you need to find a new place to park. It reminds me of the days when thieves used to rip off Mercedes ornaments from the front hood.

Ya that's y I say it's my fault. At least this second time cause I should have parked in garage. I didn't think these were worth stealing. I remember the headlights were always stolen off the 996's

If u decide to sell urs I would buy em good idea to keep ur originals tho obviously. I like the flat cf ones like the gt2 but it seems like ur trying to make it something it's not. If u have a bunch of cf on the car It would look cool tho. I was considering an R8 and I would only get one with the full cf and I never really liked cf

If they are already going after your OEM painted trim, they will get in line to steal your carbon fiber trim.

I always thought they use the oem piece as a core...
I will definitely try to contact all the guys who fabricate replacements.
